Why are you going to Pucon to ski? That ski resort is possible the flattest in the world. The only thing worthwhile to ski is the Villarica volcano above the resort, and given the amount of new snow, I doubt that's an option. Cool town though.

Don't worry ELA, I'm heading your way. Pucon is just one stop along the way between A (SCL) and B (EZE) route.

I am not worried, just wondering why you are so interested in powder skiing on beginner slopes.

Sorry, I had a friend that say it was worth a stop. We'll see when I get there, meeting another maggot. She went there back in 05 when she couldn't get to the area near Santiago due to road clossure and finally decided not to sit in Santiago for her one week vacation.

There are other places to ski between Santiago and Pucon.....

Yes, but I've been to a few of them last year. Pucon was on the list that I wanted to try in Chile. Heading south and it was either direct to Bariloche or stopping over for a few turns in Pucon before moving into Argentina.

Got news that it snowed a lot in Pucon, but some lifts were closed today.

This should be my last post for a few days.

Ciao.

Cmon bro, shit happens. Adapt and overcome.

Be glad you get to ski SA at all while most of us swelter in the August heat.

shit the last round trip I took I got bumped because they overbooked so I got a free ticket checked 2 50 pound bags, had 3 carry ons, and my new flight left before the flight I was originally booked on.

Then on the way back I had 2 60 pound bags didn't have to a pay an overweight fee on any of them, flight left on time, didn't have to go through security had my knife in my pocket etc.

Only down side was I got my 2 non perishible bags the next day...

Demand a free ticket and a first class upgrade.

Won't do any immediate good, but you might try supporting this group to effect change in the long term:

Well -- I tried repeatedly but for some reason can't insert the link.

I drive the bus, and that is all I do, so dont blast me. I make the fries more or less at BK. Have nothing to do with the service. If you look at the paycuts QOL screwjob that has been put on us in the last 8 years, you will understand that we fucking hate management and this atmosphere!!!!!!!!

ps
if you are a girl, stop wearing sweatpants and flipflops to the airport, I still like to look at hot ass at the people zoo that all airports are.

thank you!

how's that pension treating you ? and there's no more hot stewardess ass for you to chase either. my last trip the 3 stews were at least 45, one was pushing 60. you're a glorified greyhound bus driver, with more frequent drug tests.

Once again, just cattle. And I have met you before, you fit the picture. There is NO WAY that you fit in a seat fat ass. haha

On another note SPLAT, yes your friend is set up, much rather fly boxes for 200k a year than fat, thats the life!!
